apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I've seen this email twice already: here and in my inbox. I get the point, already, thanks.

Yuck.

whatever happened to using pillows?

I can't imagine putting something so large that I find so unattractive in my home.

It's fugly. No way would I want that in my house.

And hot couple? Yeesh. I think that chick's breast implants were made out of concrete.

So is the sex swing going to go designer now? I will wait for my e-mail from Room and Board taking advanced orders.

Ditto inkstainedwriter. Responded to your email, responding again here: put this on the list of things I don't ever want to hear from AT about. Ever.

PS: "The likeness and elegance of the female form."

1) Elegance? Pantless chick?!
2) So we're shaped like big pieces of wood with a layer of padding? AWESOME.

whatever happened to the idea of living without excess? So much talk about one in, one out, not buying what you don't need. What do we do with this? In comes the tantra chair, out goes the sofa? No thanks.

Ditto what inkstainedwriter and DWF said.

Who knew.... we can now turn to AT for porn links.

Geez, what's everybody so worked up about? I wouldn't buy it because I don't have extra room (or cash) for something so specialized, but I don't get why the commenters above have such strong negative reactions to it.

I'm no prude but come on, this ugly unitasker just isn't in keeping with AT's mission. One reference to it was enough.

Ditto, STH.

I don't think it's that much of an abomination (especially in the right setting), and I certainly don't think of it as porn. I bet it's fantastic to read in, great for dozing, and a fun way to change up the sex life. I have an everpresent fear of breaking my beloved vintage sofa after breaking my bed during intercourse so this kind of furniture would be a relief for someone like me!

Then again, I don't receive emails from AT.. so I appreciate the posting. ;)

I'm rolling my eyes on this one. If you need special chairs in order to get in the right positions, you're either a) not doing it right and/or b) have a complete lack of imagination.

SoutheastPDX: the chair itself I don't consider porn, BUT the TantraChair.com link provided in the post definitely links to videos of porn.

Ick. As an upstanding member of the gay community I find this extremely distasteful.

I vote that we bring decency back to AT.

No more semi-clad woman on the website. Please.

Does AT have no shame?

What shade of red is that on the wall in the video, anyone know where I can find it, or the chest of drawers in video 2? Haha, lol! Don't be so uptight people. It's still part of design and may look great in a modern space with those curves. Europeans are much more open about sexuality. It might not be for everyone, but keep an open mind.

I have an open mind. However, I also have a discerning eye. That sex chair is fugly.

The Esse is available in a lot of different colours on the site of the actual manufacturer, Liberator: http://www.liberator.com/products_esse.php#

They have a lot of really nice pieces that can enhance your home or your sex life (if necessary), all coming in a variety of sizes, combinations, and colours.

I don't think that the existence of this kind of item implies that people haven't any imaginations. These are good products that can make more difficult and adventurous positions more comfortable and accessible, especially for people of above average size, or below average physical health and/or flexibility.

ridge_van_winkle: there isn't a "right" way to do anything when it comes to sexuality and intimacy. If you approach sex that way, then it is you who aren't doing it "right."

I also agree with SoutheastPDX that this certainly is not, or isn't necessarily intended to be a Unitasker.

Yeah, sorry, Jenna... but haven't had that complaint yet.

LOL! gimme a break. Somebody tell that girl to put some panties on!

And gross just imagine if you went to someones house and it was in their living room.

To tell the truth, my boyfriend and i were looking at this tonight and we both want it. Especially for the oral sex. No strain. I am interested in knowing what kind of sex life you people have to be so negative on this product. Come on, it looks awesome and fun.

I'm a middle aged mom and grandma and I'd have this in my house if I had the disposable $$$ and space. I had a chaise lounge with an S shape in my fist college apt back in the 70's that my prudish mom bought me ( it was black fake fur and made of foam and cardboard) and everyone wanted to sit on it to watch tv.
I could imagine sitting on these to watch movies or knit, if I knew how. Or get a nice anti -migraine massage from my spouse. Haven't had time to view the video because my teenagers are always hogging the computer.

I would totally buy one of these. We have a memory foam bed and anyone who has tried to have sex on one knows, great for sleep, bad for sex. The only thing stopping me is our current lack of space. Maybe we will try to find something similar, and cheaper, when we get the new house.
It is also leaps and bounds more stylish than the liberator wedges that I always see.

I am getting this chair as soon as I have the money.
